Enhancing Empathy in Virtual Reality: An Embodied Approach to Mindset Modulation
arxiv(2024)
摘要
A growth mindset has shown promising outcomes for increasing empathy ability.
However, stimulating a growth mindset in VR-based empathy interventions is
under-explored. In the present study, we implemented prosocial VR content, Our
Neighbor Hero, focusing on embodying a virtual character to modulate players'
mindsets. The virtual body served as a stepping stone, enabling players to
identify with the character and cultivate a growth mindset as they followed
mission instructions. We considered several implementation factors to assist
players in positioning within the VR experience, including positive feedback,
content difficulty, background lighting, and multimodal feedback. We conducted
an experiment to investigate the intervention's effectiveness in increasing
empathy. Our findings revealed that the VR content and mindset training
encouraged participants to improve their growth mindsets and empathic motives.
This VR content was developed for college students to enhance their empathy and
teamwork skills. It has the potential to improve collaboration in
organizational and community environments.
